Creamy Ground Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sour cream
12 ounces egg noodles
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
Cook the noodles.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the egg noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
Brown the beef.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Add the vegetables.
Add the onion and mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and the mushrooms are browned. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Make the gravy base.
Add the butter and let it melt. Sprinkle in the flour and stir well for about 1 minute.
Add the broth.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring. Add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Simmer.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 5–7 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
Make it creamy.
Turn the heat to low. Stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not let it boil after adding the sour cream.
Serve.
Spoon the creamy ground beef stroganoff over the cooked egg noodles. Finish with chopped parsley and a little extra black pepper.
Quick Tip

If the sauce becomes too thick, add a small splash of beef broth. For an even creamier stroganoff, you can add 1/4 cup of heavy cream with the sour cream.

Ground Beef and Potato Casserole
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chopped parsley, optional
Instructions
Prepare the potatoes.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices. Try to keep the slices about the same thickness so they cook evenly.
Cook the beef.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.
Add the seasoning.
Stir in the garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute, then drain any extra grease.
Make the creamy sauce.
In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
Layer the casserole.
Grease a baking dish with butter. Add a layer of sliced potatoes, then some of the cooked beef. Spoon some creamy sauce over the top and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layers.
Continue layering the potatoes, beef, sauce, and cheese until everything is used. Finish with a generous layer of cheddar cheese.
Bake.
Cover the casserole with foil and bake at 375°F / 190°C for 45 minutes.
Finish uncovered.
Remove the foil and bake for another 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and golden.
Serve.
Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Add a little chopped parsley on top if you like.
Quick Tip

Slice the potatoes thinly so they become soft while the casserole bakes. If your slices are thicker, the casserole may need a little more cooking time.

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 small onion, diced
2 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, sliced
1 cup frozen peas
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter

Add the liquid.
Pour in the chicken broth and milk. Add the butter on top.
Slow cook the chicken.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
Shred the chicken.
Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, then return it to the crockpot.
Add the peas and dumplings.
Stir in the frozen peas. Cut the biscuit dough into small pieces and place them over the top of the chicken mixture.
Cook the dumplings.
Cover and cook on HIGH for 45–60 minutes, until the dumplings are cooked through and fluffy.
